A Belated Farewell To Summer
Although Fall had officially started on September 21, summer weather lingered on for a while here in Southern California. The temperature in Los Angeles last weekend was around 90F (about 32C) and beaches were full. But these may have been the last days of summer weather. It’s been getting cooler each day and today we had our first rain (more like drizzle). So, it’s only fitting that I bid farewell to warm days of lounging on the beach…
First, I thought I’d declare my passion for the beach using pictures taken around my two favorite beaches, Santa Monica and Venice. These letter collages are a bit challenging, but fun.
Second, I thought I’d pay a small tribute to those lovely seagulls that inhabit and rule the beaches around here. I hope you enjoy the slideshow. 😉

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Candid Shots
I love catching those spontaneous moments when people are just being themselves and going about their business. I’ve gotten some nasty reactions when photographing strangers, so I try to do it in a non-obtrusive way or with their permission. Here is a series of candids taken in Santa Monica and Venice, California.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated
When it comes to color saturation, there is no place like the boardwalk on Venice Beach, California, which happens to be one of my favorite places to photograph. I was there just yesterday and here are some of the very colorful shots I got. Talk about saturation!
